LAS VEGAS, Nev., Feb. 7, 2009 – Joseph Hagerty of Rio Rancho, N.M./U.S. Olympic Training Center, won the all-around at the 2009 Winter Cup Challenge at the Las Vegas Sports Center in Las Vegas, Nev. The Winter Cup was his first competition since the 2008 Olympic Games and in preparation for his first international competition since the Olympics, the 2009 Tyson American Cup on Feb. 21 at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill. David Sender of Arlington Heights, Ill./Stanford University, who is also competing in the Tyson American Cup, won the still rings and vault titles at the Winter Cup.

Hagerty posted a total score of 177.900 points, followed by Danell Leyva of Miami, Fla./Universal Gymnastics, in second and Sho Nakamori of Albany, Calif./Stanford University, in third with scores of 176.350 and 176.100, respectively.

The individual event champions were: Hagerty, floor exercise (30.500) and parallel bars (tie, 30.050); Tim McNeill of Falls Church, Va./University of California – Berkeley, pommel horse (30.350); David Sender, still rings (30.650) and vault (32.200); Leyva, parallel bars (tie, 30.050); and Paul Ruggeri III of Manlius, N.Y./University of Illinois, horizontal bar (30.500). Scores from both days of competition counted toward the final rankings for the all-around and individual events.

Seven gymnasts were named to the U.S. Men’s Senior National Team based on the national team points ranking system from the Winter Cup Challenge: Guillermo Alvarez of Denver/Minnesota Gymnastics; Chris Brooks of Houston, Texas/University of Oklahoma; Chris Cameron of Winter Haven, Fla./University of Michigan; Steven Legendre of Flower Mound, Texas/University of Oklahoma; Leyva; Nakamori; and Sender. 2008 Olympic team bronze-medalists Jonathan Horton of Houston/University of Oklahoma, and Hagerty were placed on the national team by petition. Six additional gymnasts will be named later to the team. The 15 gymnasts named to the squad will comprise the U.S. Men’s Senior National Team until the 2009 Visa Championships in August.
